Profile
About
Art director Neil Godfrey is known for creating iconic pieces of work for brands such as Parker Pens and Birdseye, regularly working with copywriter Tony Brignull to create award-winning ads. Godfrey’s creative career began at Dorland, before he moved onto Collett Dickenson Pearce and then Doyle Dane Bernbach – where he remained for a decade before meeting Brignull. Together, the pair would go on to become D&AD’s most-awarded art director and copywriter respectively. “He was the acknowledged master of art direction,” wrote Brignull in Creative Review. “Every art director, every account executive, every client knew that when Neil did something it was right.”
